Hotel Hive is nice in some ways and average in others. For reference, we stayed in a King Buzz room.
PROS:
- They had options for breakfast (not included) which were tasty.
- A pizza bar, regular bar, & rooftop bar.
- The building is attractive and so was the atmosphere inside.
- More affordable than other hotels nearby.
- Front desk staff were very helpful and friendly.
CONS:
- Food options and drink options were very limited.
- Feels like a budget hotel.
- No mini-fridge in the room.
- No drawers or closet space, only a foldable hook.
- Carpet rough on your feet.
- Soap in the bathroom was a bottle of shampoo.
- Room located on the basement level so windows couldn't be opened. Felt stuffy and basement-y.
- Low ceiling due to being on basement level.
- Mattress was quite firm and uncomfortable for us.
- Maid service never came to change towels or make the bed even when we took down the door sign.
- There was a lot of noise outside of the room windows that sounded like garbage trucks all throughout the day/night, which was likely a generator or something because it was repetitive and consistent.
- TV was in an awkward place on the wall, making it difficult to watch from the bed.
- Location was on the campus of a nearby university, so all streets nearby were metered and they are VERY serious about the parking restrictions.
Overall, it was an average stay with a decent vibe. However, if you're looking for more comfort or amenities, I would recommend somewhere else.
